One of the highest-rated anime of this past year was Dress-up Darling, a story about a Stacy who falls in love with a guy for his dedicated work ethic and sincere effort he puts into his job as a small business owner (in a traditional arts industry).
Your wait for just a straight-up positive family experience show likely isn't that far off. They've already hit the ground running with shows about half the equation, and play it 100% straight (he is never derided by the narrative or darling for his positive work ethic and social mores, in fact, he is outright rewarded for it, often).
The show was hated by Twitter, too. But, of course, it WAS made in Japan, so that Japan-hating overlap part of the venn diagram of people here and howler monkies on twitter will probably say it's a poor example.
The highest praise I can say about the anime is that it even made a cynical man like me who has been MGTOW for years, a bit wistful that even If I tried my best I will never be able to find a woman remotely like Marin in the real world.
The author of the series definitely knew the formula to create probably any man's ultimate dream girl.
Can you Imagine an attractive yet loyal girl that truly appreciates hard work and who constantly encourages and hell even inspires you to succeed in your dreams and she also loves anime and dressing up in cosplay existing in the real world?
I’ll have to check it out. Thanks! Nowadays I love reruns of shows like leave it to beaver and little house on the prairie. As a kid I got bored when my parents or grandparents watched shows like that but now I really appreciate them.
It does have some significant fanservice, just FYI if you're opposed to that, but it's a very solid romance story in its couple episodes. Different cultures after all.
It's not Leave It To Beaver, it's still only half the equation and on the setting-up-the-romance side, not the family-established side. Spy x Family might be closer to what you're looking for, but it's closer to Addams Family than Little House On The Prarie, in that it's a functional and loving family, it's just... not normal.
I guess this is why Bob's Burgers almost seems fresh.
A normal couple with three kids, trying to run a small business.
This show would have been totally lost amongst all the other shows I grew up with, before Married: With Children came along and set the tone we're still getting vis a vis family sitcoms. The only real difference is the post-FCC content, like booger jokes and the sight of toilets and stuff.
I know that’s a popular show but I just couldn’t get into it. Simpsons is my all time favorite show (golden years especially) and I know it influenced Bob’s Burgers but I didn’t think it was funny. Maybe I’ll give it another try. Also like Futurama, Family Guy, King of the Hill, and South Park but there is some decline in quality
It's almost kind of an acquired taste. I got into it kind of slowly, too, same with King of the Hill. It's probably that "why aren't these live-action?" vibe, but once you watch it, yeah, it's better off as a cartoon, heh. Especially with the one-off, more surreal episodes (mostly literal fever dreams. Which leads me to wonder what they would have done, surrealism-wise, if late-season Night Court had been a cartoon ...)
I guess I can identify with Bob Belcher because of the way his family and friends rope him into stupid shit he'd rather not do and knows it'll go to hell (take a shot/toke every time he says "Oh, God.") when he just wants to make burgers and get by quietly.
To quote my boy SABO, conservatism is the new punk.
It honestly is. I’m waiting for a new show about a married man and woman who raise their children
